A: Try a different USB port/cable. Test on another computer. If still not detected, the hardware may be faulty. 🔒 Safety Warning Only download drivers from the official manufacturer’s website. Avoid third-party “driver updater” sites — they often contain malware. If you cannot locate the specific driver for your FS1-P, reply with the brand name printed on the pedal or the USB vendor ID (from Device Manager → Properties → Details → Hardware Ids) for personalized help.
